Excerpt from The Principles of Medicine: An Introduction to the Study of Special Pathology; A Text Book for Students; Being a Course of Lectures Delivered to the Classes of the Cleveland University of Medicine and Surgery
In view of the ripening time for the abolition of the didactic method of medical teaching and the substitution of the Text-Book, this little volume has been prepared for the use of the classes of the Cleveland University of Medicine and Surgery. It is brief and unpretentious, being in fact the condensation of a larger and completer work in course of preparation, but it is believed to cover mainly, even if too briefly, the essentials of this most important field of study. It is intended, as the title indicates, as an Introductory Course, and therefore for Junior students, and was originally written for and delivered to them; but it is hoped that those of "a larger growth" may find some profit in its pages. While former students may be gratified upon its publication, as they have so urgently desired; and present ones gratified because relieved of a part of their lecture-room drudgery; the gratification of the author is with the step forward from the old good to the new better methods of teaching - better, because more comprehensive and exact. So far as it may fill such a place, let it stand until a better mind and hand shall work out and write a better.
Due acknowledgement is made to the authors of the many great works named in the bibliography at the end of the volume.
